UPCOMING:
I don’t think 2018 will be a huge convention year for me, but I’ll at least be attending a couple, and might cosplay here or there. Definitely planning to attend Emerald City Comic Con and PAX. Stay tuned for more info about where I’ll be in the future!

PAST EVENTS I HAVE BEEN TO:

2017:

PodCon (Seattle, WA) Dec 9-10
This was a podcast conference based right here in my own backyard and put on by Hank Green, so obviously I had to go. Went as an attendee, but to learn more in case of any future podcasting endeavors!

GeekGirlCon (Seattle, WA): Sep 30-Oct 1
Cosplayed as the Pink Knight from Castle Crashers, and enjoyed the con as an attendee. Not much else to report from this one!

PAX West (Seattle, WA): Sep 1-4
This was the first con I didn’t cosplay at in a long time, but I had a blast trying out new board games all weekend.

Washington Midsummer Fantasy Faire (Bonney Lake, WA): August
Excited to re-wear our Renaissance Disney costumes that were such a hit last year, and maybe make something new as well! Also always fun to put something together from my ever growing collection of ren faire garb.

SakuraCon (Seattle, WA): April 14-16
Our local anime convention is one of my favorite weekends of the year – and this year, my friends and I are doing a dream cosplay of mine: the Amazoness Quartet from the later seasons of Sailor Moon. I can’t wait! This con is also always a good excuse to wear lolita fashion.

Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle, WA): March 2-5
The biggest geek convention in Seattle happens early this year! I will be speaking on two panels, one called The Harry Potter Renaissance about all the new additions to HP canon ala 2016, and our standard The Couple Who Games Together. I am also a featured guest at the Worldbuilders charity event Friday night.

NerdCon: Nerdfighteria (Boston, MA): Feb 25-26
I’m a featured guest at NerdCon this year, and there is so much exciting stuff planned. I can’t wait! I’m involved in a number of events including a 5AG reunion, Nerdfighter D&D, a 1-hour write-a-thon (and more)!

2016:

LeakyCon (Los Angeles, CA): October 19-23
Speaking on a panel about the House of Black with my friend Whitney, and performing at the Wizard Rock show on Friday with my band The Parselmouths in an unprecedented reunion show.

GeekGirlCon is one of my favorite cons each year. Will always cosplay at this one. Usually also speak on at least 1-2 panels.

PAX West (Seattle, WA): September 2-5
I already have so many cosplay plans for PAX. I’ll be there all four days.

Washington Midsummer Fantasy Faire (Bonney Lake, WA): Aug 6-7, 13-14, 20-21
I have been attending this Faire regularly since high school – this year I am hoping to go all three weekends, both to put together and wear some more intense costumes than usual, and to do research for the book I am currently working on.

Fanaticon (Olympia, WA): July 8
A small one day con an hour or two out of Seattle. Going to speak on a cosplay panel.

VidCon (Anaheim, CA): June 23-26

SakuraCon (Seattle, WA): March 25-27
